 | | |  This molecule links your diet to stroke and Alzheimer’s—here’s how to stop it A new review explores how TMAO, a gut-derived metabolite from red meat and other foods, contributes to heart and brain diseases. It also highlights promising interventions—like plant-based diets, probiotics, and nutraceuticals—to lower TMAO levels and reduce health risks. | | | | |  The best diet for aging well, backed by a 30-year study of 100,000 people A 30-year study of over 100,000 U.S. adults found that consistent adherence to healthy dietary patterns, especially the AHEI, was strongly linked to successful aging. Diets rich in plant-based foods and healthy fats, with some low-fat animal products, improved physical, mental, and cognitive health. | |

| | | | |  Review identifies common food additives in ultra-processed foods—particularly emulsifiers like carrageenan and polysorbate 80—as key drivers of gut dysbiosis, inflammation, and allergic diseases by disrupting intestinal barriers and activating proinflammatory pathways. | | | | |  A 12-week feasibility trial tested the MIND diet in midlife adults, showing improved diet quality, mood, and physical quality of life but no significant cognitive gains. | | | | |  Roughly one out of three women ages 14-49 in the United States develop a vaginal bacterial imbalance known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) during their lifetime. | | | | |  Study estimates the global lifetime risk and benefits of modifying cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, smoking, and obesity by age 50, showing significant improvements in both life expectancy and quality of life. It highlights the importance of early intervention and midlife changes in preventing cardiovascular disease and mortality. | | | | |  Artificial intelligence (AI) could help sonographers identify any abnormalities at the 20-week pregnancy screening scan almost twice as quickly, without reducing the accuracy or reliability of diagnoses, a new study has shown. | | | | |  Sucralose increases hypothalamic activity linked to hunger more than sugar or water, especially in women and people with obesity. | | | | |  Researchers studying over 2,000 Ashkenazi Jewish centenarians uncovered two rare IGF-1 gene variants linked to exceptional longevity. These variants reduce IGF-1 receptor activity through either diminished receptor binding or lower circulating IGF-1 levels. | | | | |  Researchers developed a machine-learning algorithm to accurately predict free sugar content in packaged foods globally. The model enables large-scale assessment of carbohydrate quality based on fiber and sugar content. | | | | |  A global study finds that low milk intake is linked to increased colorectal cancer burden, especially in older adults. Prostate cancer rates showed negative trends, though the findings may reflect model limitations rather than protective effects. | | | | |  Daily consumption of artificially sweetened beverages (ASB) during pregnancy was linked to a modest but consistent increase in overweight risk in offspring from age 7 to 18. Surprisingly, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) were associated with a lower risk, though lifestyle differences may explain this. | | | | |  Many teenagers enter adulthood with significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and the transition from adolescence to adulthood is a key time to address these risk factors and reduce the risk of developing future cardiovascular disease, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association. | | | | |  A new review was published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on March 13, 2025, titled "Signaling pathway dysregulation in breast cancer." | | | | |  Researchers from the CDC and Colorado School of Public Health estimate that seven major pathogens caused 9.9 million foodborne illnesses in the US in 2019. Norovirus led illness and hospitalization counts, while Salmonella caused the most deaths. | | | | |  A new study published in the journal Immunity reveals a mechanism that allows triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to develop resistance to therapy. | | | | |  New mums should be strongly encouraged to begin clocking up at least two hours of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity such as brisk walking and muscle strengthening exercises each week in the first three months after birth, when physically able, to improve health and well-being, say experts in a new guideline published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine. | |
